The following is a true story Only the names have been changed To protect the guilty - Well I left my job in my home town And I headed for the smoke Got a rock 'n' roll band and a fast right hand Gonna get to the top Nothing's gonna stop us, no nothing So if you've got the money, we've got the sound You put it up and we'll put it down If you got the dollar, we got the song Just wanna boogie woogie all night long Yeh boogie I got holes in my shoes I got holes in my teeth I got holes in my socks I can't get no sleep I'm trying to make a million And I got patches on the patches On my old blue jeans Well they used to be blue When they used to be new When they used to be clean But I've got a Momma whose a hummer (and I've gota mama, whose a hummer) Whose keeping me alive ((just) keepin' me alive) While I'm in the band doing drinking with the boys (while I'mdoin' drinkin She's working 9 to 5 (with the boys) (She) knows her place that woman Just you wait - One of these days see me driving round town In my rock 'n' Rolls Royce with the sun roof down My bottle of booze No summer time blues Shouting out, "Look at me" In my rock 'n' roll voice Ain't no fun waiting round to be a millionaire Repeat "Hey hello Howard, how you doin', my next door neighbour?" "Oh yea... Get your fuckin' jumbo jet off my airport"
